Opening nite was amazing with a great turn out of family, friends & fans.

 W.E Arnold & I hung the show on Thursday the 3rd. The lettering in particular took forever to place properly, but we felt was worth it in the end...
 
 I really like the layout of 831 Gallery inside of Clayspace. There are many different architectural elements to work with & my favorite of course is the brick work, but the white hanging walls are also a joy to layout.
 
 Including a fun li'l brick column. It's just a ball to prepare a show here.
 
With close to 100 pieces of art including 20 collaborative efforts between W.E Arnold & Joss Parker
 
 Even a collage co-lab usuing one of W.E's Columbus building shots
 
Lighting is always tricky, but Todd from Clayspace helped out & it looks great
 
A li'l virtual exhibit tour. For a second tour check out this video by one of parker pop shops favorite & biggest fans Ray T. Vinyl on youtube at
 
 Lots of affordable art to be had

They even made us a Birthday cake as both W.E & I had our Birthdays just before the opening reception. Oddly enough W.E's is Christmas & mine is New Years Day so...Thank you to everyone who sang along as well!!!
